Zhou Fan threw himself completely into battle.
One mutant beast after another died beneath his blade.
He was already deep inside the Beginner Mutant Beast Forest, where many of the beasts were first-tier four-stars or five-stars.
But mutant beasts at this level no longer posed much of a challenge to him.
"Roar!"
A mutant beast whipped up a gale.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
The fire fed on the wind, rapidly spreading into a sea of flames that swallowed the beast.
Another mutant beast attacked from the side, spewing a massive fireball.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Zhou Fan stayed calm in the face of danger. He summoned an enormous water dragon that smashed through the beast's fireball, then opened its gaping maw and lunged at the beast.
"Holy shit! When did the streamer learn Water Type powers?"
"Wasn't he a Fire Type? How did he learn Water Type powers too?"
"He uses both fire and water??"
Seeing Zhou Fan unleash both Fire Release and Water Release left many viewers in his livestream stunned.
Having only Fire Type powers was nothing special.
Having only Water Type powers wasn't particularly remarkable either.
But now that he had actually awakened both Fire Type and Water Type powers, that was a whole different story!
"This guy actually has dual-type superpowers??" Xia Qingran's red lips parted slightly in shock.
Most Espers could only awaken one superpower type.
Only a tiny handful of geniuses could awaken two.
In his previous livestreams, Zhou Fan had only shown Fire Type powers.
Yet today, he had actually used Water Type powers??
This guy... was he hiding his Water Type powers all along?
No, that's not right.
If he'd been hiding his Water Type powers before, why would he deliberately reveal them now?
So... he must have only recently acquired his Water Type superpower! Xia Qingran quickly worked out the logic.
At the same time, she was profoundly shocked.
I never imagined he'd have dual-type superpowers. This guy really knows how to surprise people!
[Shock +1] [Shock +1]
Zhou Fan was busy grinding monsters and had no time to read the livestream chat.
One mutant beast after another died at his hands.
Whether they were first-tier four-stars or five-stars, none were a match for him.
His successful kill count kept rising.
Three.
Five.
Nine.
Thirteen.
Seventeen.
Twenty!
Before long, he had successfully met his goal of killing twenty mutant beasts.
"Awesome! He actually did it!"
"Badass!"
Many of the new viewers were watching Zhou Fan's livestream for the first time, and what they saw stunned them.
A first-tier five-star Esper had actually taken on twenty mutant beasts in a row.
That was insane!
"Wait, why is he still fighting?"
"Damn... he's still fighting! He's still cooking!"
He had already met his twenty-beast target.
But Zhou Fan didn't stop. He kept fighting.
He wanted to push his limits!
Constantly pushing his limits in battle was an effective way to improve his strength.
Anyone truly strong had to grow through combat!
The twenty-first!
The twenty-second!
The twenty-third!
Zhou Fan kept breaking past his limits.
In the end, he accomplished the incredible feat of hunting thirty mutant beasts in one go!
Only when the thirtieth beast fell did he finally stop, his breathing heavy.
"Thirty... is that my limit?"
That was the limit of what his current strength could achieve.
But he hadn't played all his trump cards.
He still hadn't summoned Shukaku.
If he summoned Shukaku too, he could probably double that number!
"Guys, I'm spent. That's my limit."
Zhou Fan turned his phone's camera back toward himself.
The livestream chat went wild with messages like "Awesome," "Freak," "Monster," "Badass," and "He's hacking."
A first-tier five-star had challenged thirty mutant beasts in one go!
And a third of those thirty beasts had been first-tier five-stars.
Nobody would have believed such a record if they'd only heard about it.
But Zhou Fan had done it!
More than ten thousand viewers had witnessed his feat from start to finish.
"This guy... he actually did it."
From the moment Zhou Fan completed his twenty-beast challenge, Xia Qingran had watched the rest in astonishment.
This guy... was an absolute freak!
She realized she couldn't gauge Zhou Fan's strength at all.
Every time she thought he had reached his ceiling...
Zhou Fan always managed to overturn everything she thought she knew.
He was an absolute monster!
"This guy... is even more of a freak than those so-called geniuses at our university!"
["Call Me Your Majesty" sent "Carnival ×10"!]
True to her word, Xia Qingran tipped him ten Carnivals outright.
Ten Carnivals only cost thirty thousand yuan.
Including the dozen or so Carnivals she had sent earlier, she had spent nearly a hundred thousand yuan in Zhou Fan's livestream today.
But that was pocket change.
To the Xia Family, a hundred thousand yuan or so was like ten or twenty yuan to an ordinary person.
"Thank you for the tip, Your Majesty."
Zhou Fan offered a brief thank-you.
"Everyone, that's it for today's livestream. I'm completely exhausted."
"See you next time."
The livestream ended.
He no longer had the energy to keep streaming today.
But his efforts had paid off.
Thanks to the traffic brought in by those dozen or so Carnivals during today's livestream...
Zhou Fan had earned more than ten thousand emotion points in one go!
It was the most emotion points he had ever earned in a single session.
His top donor, the wealthy woman named "Call Me Your Majesty," deserved much of the credit.
Without her tips, his livestream wouldn't have drawn so many viewers.
Just then, a message from a friend popped up on Douyang.
It was from "Call Me Your Majesty."
"Hey, handsome. Can I have your WeChat ID?"
Whoa... the rich lady came looking for me!
Was she really about to make a move on me?
Zhou Fan felt both excited and nervous, but he still played a little hard to get.
"If you need anything, you can message me here. I'll see it."
Call Me Your Majesty: "What, am I not worthy of getting your WeChat ID? I'm your top donor."
Zhou Fan: "That's not what I meant... my WeChat ID is 'yizhixiaoao.' Go ahead and add me."
He had surrendered to the wealthy woman after all.
Pretty female streamers couldn't escape the clutches of their top male donors.
Handsome male streamers couldn't escape their wealthy top female donors either.
Soon, a friend request arrived on his WeChat.
["Queen Xia" wants to add you as a friend!]
Zhou Fan quickly tapped accept.
"Are you 'Call Me Your Majesty'?"
"Yes."
"Your surname is Xia?"
Queen Xia: "Very clever!"
Zhou Fan: "..."
Her WeChat nickname started with "Xia," so he had simply taken a guess.
"Zhou Fan, you're a new student at Tianhai No. 1 High School, right? So are you planning to take the Southern District's college entrance exam?" Xia Qingran asked.
"Yes."
"Which university are you aiming for?"
"I don't have one in mind. I'll go wherever accepts me."
"Then come to Xinghai University."
"Why? Do you go to Xinghai University?"
"Mm-hmm."
